The Hurst badge is nice if you have a Hurst shifter.
Other options:
-Some kind of LS1 badge
-LSX badge
-GTO "5.7" badge
-SLP badge

Thanks man. I used SEM Trim Black which I think is probably the best quality, but you can use any trim black that you can find in the auto parts store.

I did a how to writeup thread as well

I did mine if Flat and now after I had installed the Camaro inserts, I want mine Semi-Gloss so don't make that mistake like I did. As far as what you should add when it comes to the emblems, I think others have said the best options IMHO.

A lot of people make that mistake. The correct finish is 'satin black'

I don't know if you're asking about mine, but mine is pewter, and yes, that's the original paint. Car has 60k miles on it
